Spokane Man Sees Warlike Shanghai. When Ben Cohn, sometimes known as "Mrs. Conn's boy, Ben," the jeweler, started off to see the world a few months ago via Honolulu, the South Sea islands, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and China, he did not plan to go to war. Yet he came nearer to it than the expected when he left the ship at Shanghai after a 28-day trip from Australia without stepping on dry ground. The Chinese soldiers placed him under arrest, but the timely arrival of a British officer brought about his release and saved him from smelling the inside of a Cantonese army guardhouse, or whatever corresponds to that A. E. F. institution among the Chinese belligerents. Mr. Cohn did not start his journey merely to see barbed wire entanglements on Shanghai streets. He saw them just the same and brought home an extensive assortment of photographs when he arrived recently. Some of the pictures he brought back are shown herewith. No Battles in Rain. He tells amusing stories about the Chinese armies who call off a battle if it starts to rain and wage war for Buddha and the fatherland only on condition of "weather permitting." Rain check seem to be a necessary part of warfare in the celestial kingdom. Mr. Cohn saw no actual fighting and does not regret it, but he saw preparations for it. He was not a bit melancholy when his ship pulled out for America where "the dawn" comes up like thunder outer China cross the bay." In the upper picture, left, some of the natives are taking a close-up of a bunch of Yankee marines who "have landed and have the situation well in hand," as usual. The leather-necks from the United States of America are doing guard duty at Jessfield park.
Foreign residents live in their residential concessions and each patrols its own borders. The Americans live in the British concession and the marines were landed to assist in protecting them against attacks from inflamed coolies. When Mr. Cohn left China, Uncle Sam had a dozen or so warships in the harbor and the other nations had their share. Chinese Eye Foreigners. In the upper picture, right, a Chinese gentleman in native gard is gazing somewhat scornfully through the barbed wire entanglements which protect the French settlement. Business appears to be going on as usual
